 If you are going with that line of decor then red lanterns are a must.

[Schilcote]

I know exactly what that room needs. Ash Statues. Big ones and small ones, everywhere.

...
You mean as in Pokemon?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No, I mean as in Morrowind. You know, the Sixth House? Dagoth Ur? The Ash Blight? Corpus? Ring a bell?

[Aqizzar]

Yeah, I'm just saying, if you're going for Rapistish, practically speaking, you'll want more lighting.  I mean, you don't want to be tripping all over the place, that would kill the mood.

I'm beginning to think that "just" is actually my favorite word.  Right up there with "actually".  I love qualifiers and interjections.

[Cthulhu]

I'm bad about "seriously," "Intensely,"  and "hrm."

Also >:O :O :3  :/  >:/ D: are my smilies of choice.

 I hate that habit of mine of always starting new paragraphs or sentences or thoughts with phrases such as "Then again," or "However," or "but still" or any variation of them. Blargy blarg blarg. I just can't kick that habit and I always notice it when I do it.

[dragnar]

I like this house. But it looks a bit well. Rapistish.

...so you're saying it's perfect for you?

[Sinistar]

I graduated yesterday. And today I enrolled for a post-graduate study. At least I think this is how you would say in English, despite around 10 years of studying it as my first foreign language I am unable to think of better way of expresing myself currently.

But you see, graduating not what made me happy.

It is actually difficult to explain how indifferent I felt yesterday or even today after getting signed that last required piece of paper, without discussing extensively how my mind currently works.

So, one of the two reasons that made me happy was seeing that Dwarf Fortress is still kicking, still full of life and after my nearly-complete-absence for quite some time, it's development is still proceeding nicely.

The second reason was cheese.
At my home always cut cheese in slices (not counting that soft cheese you can put on bread as you would, say, butter).
Today I bought myself an unsliced, a bit more than 0.5kg heavy square of hard cheese.
And at home, I proceeded to bit in it whole. Gnawing it.

One of those small things I always wanted to do.


Oh, by chance I also spotted there are at least two more students of engineering-related studies.
I salute you, comrades.

And everyone else.

I don't know what you mean man, like it should be totally easy to kick some verbal ticks you have.

Man.

Personally, I tend to make myself redundant with my postings, either when I talk about something, or end up repeating filler words. Especially if I'm explaining something. You tend to notice this more when I describe something in depth, like a fort layout (or Minecraft mine) or some sort of mechanism or purpose-built thing I'm making/using in a game.

What makes it worse is that I try to proofread before I post, but it seems a few things just creep past my mental grammar checkers. I think I tend to post how I speak more often.

Make things more oddball, I speak in a similar manner. I think what to say, proofread it, then speak in a matter of milliseconds. I've gotten better in the speaking department with my thought-to-speech speeds, it's more nano-seconds now to the point of almost not noticing my self-correcting.

EDIT:
And in plenty of cases, I tend to speak in the most grey/general/indiscriminate manner as possible if I'm talking about a general topic. I'm too lazy to go into detail with tons of things, so I just roll it up into a ball and summarize it as best as I can. Not the best thing to do in debates, especially sensitive ones (which in most cases, makes me look either like a bitter or insensitive person, as a person and not online persona). I've learned my lesson to stay away from those if I know I'm bound to do such a thing, and especially if I know it would possibly piss off a ton of people; unless I intend to troll, of course.

EDIT EDIT:
I also noticed I have the tendency to abuse parentheses (You know, these things (that look like semi- (half) circles), that add detail to what I talk about). Funny enough, I have some mental/inner monologue speech patterns that actually follow a similar format. It's like I can read and speak my thoughts simultaneously (mental teleprompter). Speaking like that to another person, you can easily lose them if they're not following (also a decent way to make sure you still have their attention or interest). No need to rely on my BS-meter if I pull that off to see if someone really is interested, or just wanted to hear another voice.

My vocal tick is dashes =/

Also, the above smiley and starting sentences with "also."  Then, there's also the word "ballistically," which is made up and as such should probably figure less in my conversations.

[Schilcote]

I use too many commas. Or at least, I used to, but now I try to avoid it.
I actually talk like that too.

I'm bad about also too.  I don't doubt there are places on this forum where I've had like five sentences prefaced with also.

[Schilcote]

EDIT:

"I hope I don't look funny carrying around all these items," you say.
He squints for a few seconds before he sees them. Then he replies, "Nah, it's okay. Everyone's on an adventure of some sort, after all." You nod, only now noticing that he's somehow concealing a bicycle, a bungee cord, and a horse in his pocket. Looks exciting.

[Benevolence]

Then it's a rather old made up word. I'd almost say it's been made up countless times before!
